Miss Mexican Fiesta Ambassador Program
Miss Mexican Fiesta 2024 – Itzel Nuñez
“I graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in 2018, where I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Global Studies with a focus on Communications, along with minors in Portuguese and Anthropology. Currently, I serve as an Admissions Counselor at UW-Milwaukee, where I am passionate about helping students navigate their college journey and recognizing the transformative power of education in their lives.
In addition to my academic and professional roles, I am also a small business owner, which allows me to pursue my entrepreneurial passion while connecting with my culture and community.
I was recently selected as a candidate for a Master’s in International Affairs at Marquette University, with the goal of furthering my ability to serve and uplift my community.
Outside of my professional and entrepreneurial endeavors, I have been an active participant in Mexican Fiesta, growing up as a Mexican Folklore dancer, and it is an honor to have been selected as this year’s Ambassador. With a deep commitment to education, cultural engagement, and community development, I hope to continue to inspire and empower women and those around me.”
